Crazy isn't the word I'd use. Disrespectful, careless, self-entitled, irresponsible... Yep, somehow I've become a cranky old bastard. GET AWF MUH LAWN. - Akiva Moskovitz
Back in the 70's and 80's we had to settle for the odd apartment complex or motel and it was always with the sneakers tied-on tightly since we'd be chased out just as quickly as we entered. I've recorded some more thoughts on the subject here: http://snipurl.com/swimkid - Christopher Harley
I agree with @Leo - this is a made up story. And why are they calling it a "Facebook" craze, when it's Google Maps that makes it possible? - Rex Hammock
Why is it that only the British flip out over this stuff as full-fledged phenomenon that need to be stopped, probably with more cameras and monitoring of Facebook. - Andrew Feinberg
yeah, it seems like every other story is fake these days or some kind of viral marking ploy - Scott Beale
never needed facebook or google maps to do this. In my home town we would gather at a Mcdonalds to review a very good aerial photo that hung on a wall for empty swimming pools in 1975 for skateboarding. The media has nothing better to report on? - Jerry Schuman
@Rex because Google Maps doesn't have a messaging component? - Adam Turetzky
Is this a hoax like using Bluetooth to hook up with people on the tube: "toothing"? - Cote'
And what a great use of technology. I love how people become alarmed when someone utilizes something new for a purpose it's inventor didn't think of and it then upsets people. Sorta like searching Google for phonebooks inadvertently shared online ("phonebook" filetype:xls) or looking for Mac computers with Personal File Sharing turned on by searching the first sentence of the default page that's displayed. - Adam Turetzky
People should learn to lock their gates. Maybe set up a fake security camera (convenience stores do this all the time, and it works). Maybe get a dog, or a motion-detector linked to an extra-loud recording of a dog.
That aside, I agree there rotten punks are quite disrespectful. - Ivan via fftogo
This sort of thing won't be a problem if not for the fact that if there is a "dipping" party and a drunken idiot drowns, the owner, who didn't want them there in the first place, would be sued. Life would be more fun without the lawyers. - Robert Hafer
Disrespectful indeed. Wait until the owner has guard dogs. - Justin Rains
